From the news I read about Maori Haka The famous Maori war dance (haka) and being bilingual can help people save dementia. Researchers from a university in New Zealand say doing haka and speaking two languages (Maori and English) can help Maoris avoid dementia. A study compared the rates of dementia among people in their 80s and 90s. The researchers suspect this figure will be higher among Maoris. They want to show their strength and frighten their enemies. A New Zealand football team began using it in 1888. The famous All Blacks rugby team then began using it before their match in 1905. Now it is part of the pre-match preparation for the All Blacks. A Maori professor said that the skills, eye coordination and dance routines that are difficult from haka help maintain brain health.
